MINNEAPOLIS.
Chamber of Commerce.

There was less activity during the early
part of the session, but later buyers took hold
more freely of the best grades of milling
wheat Shippers were taking some for out
side mills but the greater part of the Offer
ings was taken for local grinding. Receipts
were 4S0 cars and shipments 70. Duluth re-
ceived 100 cars. Local stocks are expected
10 show an increase for the week of 100000,
and Duluth is expected to show that much
decrease. Following are the closing quota

Flour-The steady strength developed in
the wheat market is felt in its kindred flour
market. Whether any real advance is TO be
come of the former. There has seldom been
a sharper inquiry for wheat in the North
west for flour making than is now i'll exist
ence. The deplorable disqualification in the
wheatoption trade, caused by the unfortu,
nate attempts of the past summer, almost led
people to forget that there is Il legitimate use
for wheat, or any use for ii other than to fill
short sales with. In spite of it the demand
for cash wheat is something remarkable, and
the cash trade i'll wheat and the trade i'll
flour are on IL strong and apparently health
full basis. Foreign demand is increasing and
promises full flow for the season.
